How do I copy iPhoto 7.1 Library from Intel to PPC Mac and back

Hello all
I apologize for the long first post; but I've been lurking for a while and haven't seen a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have two Macs - a PowerBook G4 and an Intel Mini. I copied the 6.x Library from the PB to the Mini. The copy was successful - no issues. I upgraded iLife on both machines successfully: both machines opened the 6.x Library and updated it the 7.0.1 Package Library. All was well.
I updated both machines to iPhoto 7.1. All was well.
I updated the PB to 7.1.1 + all the recent updates. All was not well! The Library seemed to be corrupted! When I clicked on a thumbnail I would see the photo "zoom" but then I'd see a black window. Clicking again would unzoom and I'd again see all the thumbnails. If I tried to export a photo Preview couldn't view it because it was "corrupt" or should be opened by another application.
After numerous troubleshooting steps - repairing permissions, deleting preferences, trying to rebuild the thumbnail caches, rebuild the Library, recover lost photos etc I gave up.
I've wiped the PB clean and installed Leopard and iPhoto 7.1 - not 7.1.1.
Now I want to copy the iPhoto Library from the Mini (also iPhoto 7.1). I tried copying the package across the network by "Connect to server" in Finder but that produced the same "corrupted" symptoms. (Thumbnails would zoom to black window.)
So here's the question(s):
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
I use the PB on the road and on vacation to capture my 'photos; but I like to display them on my HDTV connected to my Mini - hence my need to periodically copy the Library from the PB to the Mini.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

No.
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
Try using Firewire target mode.

  • How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?

    How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?
    I have a number of fonts (approx. 500) on my work laptop which are sorted to different Collections. I'd like to have a copy of the Font Book library with Collections on the laptop I use at home to work. I'd think there was a more straight forward way to do it, but I haven't found any posts regarding the matter so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    To anyone who is reading this based on needing to copy their Font Book to another machine as I do, there is a way to make a copy of the fonts in Font Book by going to file/export fonts. Keep in mind that you will need to have all the fonts selected (command A) in your "All Fonts" list for them to be exported. You will then have a new folder saved to where ever you chose, with all your Font Book fonts in it.

  • How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    Hello MWWWB,
    Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
    You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
    Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

  • How do you sync music into your library from another file

    how do you sync music into your library from another file?  After moving all my music into a new location, is there a quicker way to upload the music into the library rather than adding file by file?

    Hi MonicaJani,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can also add folders of media as described here:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

    How do I transfer my whole music library from my ipod to my brand new macbook pro?

    You should be able to transfer iTunes purchases as described on the page that you posted from i.e. File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g CDs) then if you don't have them on a backup that you can copy them from, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page that might be able to copy them from the iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
